What are the fighting mechanics of the Lamp Master?

the Lamp master is a boss at the end of the Act in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, so it's actually pretty tough to deal with.

This battle takes place in two distinct phases Each has its own attacks to be aware of. Important note: It is resistant to Light damage, so focus on other types of damage.

Here's what you need to know about Phase I from the battle against the Master of Lamps:

• He has a 4-hit attack that originates from each of his streetlights and targets a random character with each hit. Each hit must be blocked or dodged in the order it arrives.

• He has a charged attack that targets all three of your characters at once: have your entire team ready to dodge.
• He unleashes three attacks in a row on a single character. If all three hits land, they inflict a "free aim" debuff (your character can no longer dodge in that direction, making them vulnerable to subsequent attacks).

• On each of his turns, he displays a sequence of his streetlights lighting up. You must then reproduce the sequence in the correct order to prevent a major attack on your team.
• The sequence changes with each turn and gets longer as the battle progresses: be sure to memorize the order in which the lights come on before answering. A single mistake triggers the punitive attack.

• He has a powerful ground attack that targets the entire team and can be dodged by jumping at the right moment.

• He has an attack that targets a single character and consists of three consecutive strikes, followed by a fourth strike after he feigns returning to his position in the center of the arena. Don't stop dodging too soon when he uses this feint.
